"Yeah, I know," she said, aiming her gun at his head.
"No, no, please, let me live and I'll work for you," the man begged, trembling.
"No, thank you," she replied, pulling the trigger.
"NO!"
A few seconds later, the door opened, and the girl came out alone.
"How many are left on the 'must kill' list?" she asked the other girl as she removed her mask.
"We've finished off all the low-level members, but there are still some hard-to-find personnel left in the "must kill" list, so it's taking a bit longer."
The girl with the mask is Feng Xue, one of the Feng sisters and a Shadow Guard under Su Lian's control. She is the oldest, so when Su Lian isn't there, Feng Xue takes over. She's the best at assassination and interrogation.
The other girl is Feng Mei, the fourth sister and a master of disguise. She can come and go from any place as she pleases.
They worked together on this mission because the man Feng Xue just killed was the most powerful on the 'must kill' list. He was the vice leader of a well-known terrorist group.
In Xu Qianghua's last life, after the game merged, this guy played the game on the second day due to the hype. He managed to overthrow his group's leader and become the new leader. He then turned his group into a powerful Adventurer-style player group.
But instead of being satisfied, he submitted to a hostile race in the sector and started giving them information about some of the top 100 Family-style players. He did this because he was promised an Epic Family token.
When that hostile race tried to take over a special resource mine in the void near our planet, they succeeded with minimal losses. Most players were so busy they didn't notice at first and thought the hostile race got lucky since the guards were loyal to the human race.
When they found out it was this guy's doing, the leaders were furious at his betrayal but couldn't do anything because he had already led his group to a different place and used the family token to hide.
This caused everyone to start questioning each other, breaking their trust.
When Xu Qianghua heard this, his first question was why these top players even trusted a terrorist with such sensitive information.
But they didn't know someone else was above them, watching and listening without them noticing.
"Rui'er, are you sure these are the people on the 'must kill' list?" A woman in a martial arts uniform spoke into her mini headset.
"Yes, sister Yu, these are the guys listed for a group kill without any background behind them," a female voice responded from the headset.
The first woman was Feng Yu, the third sister of the Feng sisters.
She was a martial arts genius, mastering almost every form of hand combat, including firearms.
She worked alone in the field. Supporting her was Feng Rui, the fifth sister, a genius in both the medical and technology fields.
Feng Rui was usually a shut-in, leading most of the Shadow to forget her medical expertise.
But the top medics knew her.
They had seen her cure a late-stage cancer patient without advanced technology, which had a 70% success rate depending on age.
After saving that patient, she created another device with a 90% success rate.
However, since she hadn't shown her face in years, most of the world had forgotten about her.
Now, both of them teamed up again to kill. Their target was the group of robbers below.
These people might seem like small-time robbers, but after the game merged, they robbed some naive players at the start and grew very strong.
They then targeted anyone with a rare item but only those without any background. They had built a great information network across a few Empires.
Before they could do more damage, they betrayed the human race.
They activated a special object given to them by an alien in the capital city of an Empire, home to millions of humans.
The city was massacred. The alien race which massacred the city, was a race which humans had a blood feud with, as they love to devour human flesh while keeping the soul alive to witness the horror.
